Unfortunately, if your sister's parental rights were terminated, she has no legal connection with that child anymore. The law would call any relatives of the adoptive parents the child's relatives, and they would go before anyone else. Your sister or you would be legal strangers. If the child is in state custody, it may be that your family could try to get a placement, basically be a foster home. That would require the assistance of someone who spends every day doing cases like that, which I do not. In most counties, there is a core group of attorneys who handle cases like your niece, and your family will need one.
